Earl Tutty
My art career started 38 years ago completing a Diploma in Visual Communication at Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology with a Major in Graphic Design & minors in Photography & Print making. This was to turn out to be the start of a full time career in the creative arts. I worked as a freelance commercial artist for a number of years and further study led to a Bachelor of Design Degree in Visual Communication when I was employed at CPIT, later Ara for 25 years as tutor in 2 Dimensional studies in Art & Design and responsible for writing a course outline for a Painting elective that was adopted in 2018. Artist, tutor, boomerang savvy tramper of Te Waipounamu, photographer & weather watcher. Everything is interesting. Look for not at.

Tuition:
The course has been designed for those who have a desire to paint but are unsure where to start.
You will be introduced to the materials, techniques and the expressive potential of painting in acrylics.
It is a gentle introduction into the world of an artist with the aim of building belief in oneself and
developing a work practice that will empower you to paint with confidence.
